Groen Geel's reaction to their match vs The Hague All Stars
"Groen-Geel was really looking forward to the match against The Hague All Stars at HBS last Saturday: a new team on a new field: the Green & Yellows hadn't experienced that for a long time! The fact that you suddenly don't know exactly how the individual opponent bowls, bats or throws: a very welcome experience in the women's competition!
The Hague All Stars couldn't wait to get started and got off to a flying start: the first two balls of the match (!) immediately turned into two wickets.
The Green & Yellows - also called The Hague Old Stars, last Saturday ;-) - clearly needed some more time to wake up. Tessa van der Gun (69) and Tjitske Maathuis (23) then put things in order for Groen-Geel through a partnership of almost 100 runs. Groen-Geel came to a nice total of 142.
The Hague All Stars then faced the same challenge: the Green & Yellow bowling is also very much unknown to them, but the talented ladies handled it very well. With nice totals by Els Keppel (71*) and Merel Dekeling (40*) for just one wicket from Groen-Geel's best bowler Floor van den Assem, The Hague All Stars passed Groen-Geel's total and their first deserved victory was a fact. Congratulations on this beautiful achievement!"
